Last October 26, 2011 I took a leave from work to bring my sister Sarina to Noriter and Cubao Expo. But before we headed to those places we had to accompany our even younger sisters, the twins, to buy the Jason Mraz concert tickets. Buying the tickets proved to be a problem. We had to go to SM North Edsa from SM San Lazaro because their ticketing booth in San Lazaro was effing up! We also have to leave Sidney because she has a "date with her friends" >:)).
Even before SM San Lazaro, the day was starting on countless mishaps. When we were already at Retiro corner Blumentritt, Sarina realized she left her cp at home. The twins and I had to wait for her. While, waiting there's this crazy old lady who wanted us to go away. Telling us that we were robbers and everything. She even pushed me. I retaliated more than I ever retaliated to old people before. Good thing it was me she pushed and not one of my sisters because if she did, she would have got more than my words. She gave up on us though. >:)). I stood my ground, that old bitch do not own the road. :P.
Anyway hemingway, we were hours delayed from my original plan. Since we waited a good hour in San Lazaro before deciding to go to SM North. And going anywhere that bypasses Quezon Ave. nowadays, takes 20 to 40 minutes more than they used to before the construction of the underpass. To further our luck the taxi driver who was driving the taxi that we rode didn't know the other way to SM North. Gaah! I wished we just rode a jeep since, the only reason I decided to ride a taxi is because of the detour. Oh well.
Deciding to go to SM North proved to be a blessing in disguise. :D We got patron seats instead of the free seating area. :D After another delay caused by BPI, who kept on asking my sister her name, birth date, my father's name and my father's birth date because she used her credit card, an extension of my father's and she couldn't provide a valid ID except for her student ID. Gahd! These people who eats your time! Yes, I know it's a good thing to check and to have tight security for our own safety. But come on! I didn't take a leave for waiting on people.
I also made all the wrong transportation decisions that day. On our way to Noriter, I didn't chose to ride the LRT instead we rode an FX and it took a while to get there. Good thing Sarina enjoyed the place or else I could kill myself hahaha.
After Noriter, we decided to take a stop by Quiapo for dvds. Only to find out that the dvd place is no longer there. T_T much to my heart break. There are these people who calls out "DVD! DVD!". It seems that the dvd market is still on going but they are more underground. I don't want to risk anything because I was with my sister and it was Quiapo so, I decided that we should move along.
Another transportation mishap, was deciding to ride a jeep all the way to Cubao. Gahd! the traffic was just GAAH! Halfway through I wanted to scream. It was just so damn much of a traffic jam! When we got to Cubao, we were both uber thirsty. I decided to eat at KFC, only the KFC there was under renovation, so we ended up eating merienda at Mcdo. After merienda, we headed at the expo. Thank God Sarina enjoyed, I mean genuinely enjoyed the place. She even bought dresses. :D Oh! and she even wanted to have her picture taken with the poster for the Jason Mraz concert, which she wouldn't be attending, by her choice.
Of all the mishaps, I hope my little sister did have fun that day. :D :D :D I can't wait for the next day out. :D
